What Happened
The engine cylinder bore is a critical part of your Audi's engine. In some 2021 models, small cracks might develop on its surface, which could weaken the engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cracks worsen, the engine could seize or start leaking oil while you're driving. This could cause your engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash or fire.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the engine entirely, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and it won't cost you a thing.
